Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
hugosoup I'm kind of late to review this movie since I watched it over a year ago and this is the first movie I'm reviewing here on IMDb, but I'll take a stab at it anyway. I said I watched this movie a year ago, well, I should've said that I've seen the first half hour before I turned it off shortly afterwards. I'm not very strict and pretty easy on movies most of the time, but this movie was just bad. It's a mean-spirited, unfunny movie with no heart and it's a disgrace to the original Vacation movies with Chevy Chase. I'm saying this as a guy who loved Christmas Vacation and hated this movie. Not a single moment up to the half hour mark where I turned it off made chuckle or laugh even a little bit. I would honestly give this a 0/10 if I could and this has got to be the worst movie of the year in 2015 and probably the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure to watch. Follow my advice, you'll thank me later and be grateful that you didn't see this piece of s*** movie.
Michael Ledo Rusty (Ed Helms) is grown and an airline pilot for a small airway. When the neighbors are over for dinner, he sees an enormous amount of father-son bonding, that he become envious and realizes his family is in a rut. He decides a vacation to Wally World (and not Paris) is what the family needs and announces to the audience "The new vacation will stand on its own."His family is a bit dysfunctional. We discover his wife Debbie (Christina Applegate) was known as "Debbie do anything" in college. As a side note, I don't believe there is a Memphis State University, but the University of Memphis is a dry campus. Kevin (Steele Stebbins) the younger son swears excessively, wrestles, and likes to bully his older brother James. James (Skyler Gisondo) who "doesn't have a vag.., but it would be okay if he did", keeps a wish diary.The film was funny. The humor was cruder, more sexual, and there was a lot of F-bombs, 58 to be exact. The film also allowed itself to draw some similarities to the original vacation, such as the girl in the car, but didn't over do it. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo appeared near the end which was a bit anti-climatic. The best humor came when they did a misdirection from the formula. Perhaps the biggest laugh was provided by the family car.Guide: Plenty of swearing, sex talk, brief nudity.
blartitboiz This hurt my soul to watch it. I loved Em Helms in The Office, and thought he would do a remake of one of my all time favorite movies some justice. Oh, how I was wrong. This is one of those movies that if someone was like "Hey, do you wanna get shot or watch the remake of Vacation with Ed Helms," you would chose to get shot. I walked out of the movie maybe 20 minutes in because I could physically feel my brain cells, heart, and hope for Hollywood dying. I swear this movie took at least 10 years off of my life.
Ilikehorrormovies I'd admit they're some scenes that are funny but the story is not even good. I'm not saying this is the Fant4stic of comedy movies but it's just any bad film. I did see this in theaters and I was disappointed like this is one of the first movie I've seen in theater that I don't like. Some of the characters are undeveloped and some of the acting is poor. I don't hate the film is just I don't like the movie like improve the story.Score: 4.5/10
